My wife cheated the day after Christmas. She had zero remorse when I found out, and she said that she was leaving. It turned out to be news to the other guy, because he bailed on her. Because of our kid I tried to work it out, but a month into counseling she started talking to two other guys. She was up to four when I finally just gave up. We just got divorced, and now I'm trying to slowly get back out there. I was content to give myself time, but I find myself becoming increasingly bitter. Maybe it sounds crazy, but I feel like I need to see that not all women are as wretched as my ex-wife.
Is this a bad idea? Are there other ways to get over it besides just giving it time? I'm 30. I still want more kids and a family, but I don't want to punish someone else for what she did.
